Spokesperson of Chinese foreign ministry Wang Wenbin has said that America has ignored its responsibilities and called back its army from Afghanistan in hurry. This act has spread filth and war for the Afghan people and other countries of the region, he added in his routine briefing on Saturday.

America, being the actual culprit of the Aghan issue, accepts the inevitable liability for the present situation in Afghanistan. Chinese Foreign Minister is also ready to discuss the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan next week at a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. He will discuss the matter along with his equivalents from Russia, India, Pakistan, and numerous Central Asian countries.

The airline that carried out an emergency chartered flight said that, earlier, China has withdrawn 210 nationals from Afghanistan as US troops sped up their evacuation from the war-ravaged country. According to a social media post, the airline departed the capital Kabul on July 2, for the city of Wuhan, Hubei province carrying the Chinese citizens who had been stuck in Afghanistan. Among them, 22 people were later confirmed to be infected from coronavirus. The flight was organized by the Chinese Government, reported the state media Global Times.

India implemented its decision to evacuate its diplomats and officials from the Kandahar embassy as the Taliban claimed to have control of 85 per cent of Afghanistan, reaching the Kandahar city. According to the reports, more than 50 diplomats and staff were evacuated from the Kandahar embassy. Initially, the Indian government tried to engage with the Taliban, but they were not welcomed.

The Taliban are very near to claim the Kandahar city. Keeping in view the security situation and increasing control of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Indian government temporarily pulls out its diplomats from the Kandahar embassy.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Arindam Bagchi, said that Indian officials have been evacuated for the time being given the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan.

According to Bagchi, it was a temporary pull-out. The Indian consulate continues to operate through the local members of the embassy. A special aircraft was sent to bring the diplomats back on Saturday.

However, on Tuesday, four days before the pull-out, the Indian embassy declared the news regarding the evacuation as rumours.

Last week, the Indian embassy asked all Indians in Afghanistan to remain vigilant.
